Dr Robin Warren, pathologist

John Robin Warren was born in Adelaide in 1937. Despite an equal love for photography Warren entered medical school at the University of Adelaide, graduating with an MB and BS in 1961. A chance turn of fate led Warren to pathology and after training at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in 1967 he was admitted to the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia. Warren then moved to Perth to take up a position as staff specialist in pathology at the Royal Perth Hospital (1968–98). It was during this time that Warren first observed bacteria in stomach sections associated with peptic ulcers (1979). Warren began to work with Barry Marshall in 1981 and together they were able to demonstrate that the bacteria Warren observed (now called Helicobacter pylori) was the causative agent in peptic ulcers. This revolutionary discovery was at first rejected by the medical fraternity but finally led to a cure for peptic ulcers.

Ask most people what causes a stomach ulcer and they’ll guess at stress and gluttony. In fact, as Australians Barry Marshall and Robin Warren discovered as recently as the 1980s, they are an infectious disease caused by bacteria. Warren first observed small curved bacteria colonising the lower part of the stomach (antrum) in about 50% of patients from whom biopsies had been taken. He noted that signs of inflammation were always present in the gastric mucosa close to where the bacteria were seen. Marshall followed up on Warren’s findings and together they studied biopsies from 100 patients. Marshall eventually succeeded in cultivating the previously unknown bacterial species Helicobacter pylori from these biopsies. The organism was found to be present in almost all patients with gastric inflammation, duodenal ulcer or gastric ulcer. lt is now known that Helicobacter pylon causes more than 90% of duodenal ulcers and up to 80% of gastric ulcers.
